PITTSBURGH, PA (February 19, 2009) – Everything is bigger in Texas and now the airplane carrying passengers from Pittsburgh International Airport (www.FlyPittsburgh.com) to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is bigger too! American Airlines has announced it will add MD-80 service from the airport beginning June 12, 2009.

“This aircraft upgrade is a tangible means for American Airlines to improve the quality of the flight for our region’s business and leisure travelers. Pittsburgh International Airport offers more choice and improved service to top business destinations such as Dallas,” said Brad Penrod, Executive Director and CEO of the Allegheny County Airport Authority.
